lead police have is a security video that exists. a physical struggle that took place here near this bus stop between a man and a woman. now they are not sure if the two knew each other or if she was really taken against her will. police spent last night reviewing surveillance video taken from an ac transit camera that shows the incident. officers say a bus driver saw an asian man approach an asian woman between 20-40 years old who was sitting at a bus stop. now that bus driver told investigators that there was a struggle between the two and the man took the woman into the bushes of a nearby business complex. a chp helicopter searched the area using infrared technology that features heat paying particular tax to the creek but nobody was found. >> right now we only have the one reporting party who was the bus driver. so the video gives us another

perspective of what occurred. and we will be reviewing the video to see if there is any way to identify the person involved. >> reporter: police say at this point they have not received any tips or leads. they may be releasing that video to the media to help this case. if the woman is safe and she may come forward after seeing the video, investigators say this appears to be an isolated incident but they are treating this as a worse case scenario. reporting live from milpitas janine de la vega ktvu channel 2 news. we are following developing news for you from the south bay. investigators are still on the scene from an early morning fire. it started shortly after 2:00 this morning on the 5400 block of monterey road. the fire department sent out pictures from the fire sent a short time ago. investigators are still looking for a man in his 70s that live in that mobile home.
